The wisdom of the Democracy OF Ohio
In nominating their State ticket and
enunCiating their prin 'lples In advance
of the Republicans of Ohio, ts fully ex-
emplified In reading the platform adopt
Q aud the ticket nominated by the Re-
publicans at Toledo last week. That
party is placed entirely on the defen-
sive, and because they are placed In
that position they "sQueal like stuck
pigs" In their platform. Never did a
party In Ohio place Itself In a more r.
diculOus position, and make Itself the
laughing stOcI, jeer and butt of every.
body, than did the Republican leaders
at their State convention. | suppose
the principal boast they will make
about their platform Ia, that 1t is
"lengthy;" and Notwithstanding the
Immense gall' Of the leaders of that
party In Ohio, we do not suppose any of
them will have the hardibOOd or the
cheek to claim that their platform has
either truth or principle In or about 1t
We hope every Democratic paper In the
State will publish the Republ can State
platform In full, Notwithstanding Its
great length, and keep it standing side
by side with the Democratic State plat
form until the election. If they do II
will induce thousands of honest RepnO
llcans to vote the Democratic ticker
next November. because majority OF
the people like honesty. not deception
and treachery, ss is exhibited In almost
every lins of the Republican platform
The Republican State ticket Is az
weak, IL not weaker than the State
platform. Benny Foraker, he Of "skin
cane" nOtoTiety, is Ten0minated for
Governor. No one else wanted the
empty honor on that ticket. and 1t was
Thought Skin. cane" would do just as
we'll, IL not better than anyone else to
be laid out in the cold next November
Mr.. Lyon for Lieutenant Governor, an
unheard of quantity Of brass and ego
tism, was nominated, For Supreme
Judges, the present incum0ents we're
renOminsted. Judge Owen, the Dem
ocrRtic Judge, has one pleasant reflect
ion. that after next January he will be
assisted bv such able lawyers as Critch.
field and Kline, and that the decisions
of the present four Republican Judges,
who are now laughing stock and a
by-Wor1 among well-read attorneys OF
all parties, will then cease. Brown,
who was renOminsted for State Treas
urer, is fair Republican timber. Wat
sou, the candidate for Attorney General,
will make very coed one, If he Is only
willing to receive instructions from
abler and better lawyers than himself
Poe, for Auditor of State, Is unknown In
the party, aud the way Klesewetter will
let him remain In Wood county, will
surprise the most ssnguine Republican.
FlickingeT, who vas renOminated for
Member of the Board of Public Works,
will In November try to find where the
lightning struck the Republican State
ticket the hardest; whether 1t was he or
"akin-can Foraker who received the
seVerest shock.
